The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Muslim faithful to let purity and godliness extend beyond the Ramadan period.
She gave this advice on Tuesday in the State House Banquet hall during the Iftal (breaking of Ramadan fast) she organized for federal legislators, former first ladies, governors’ wives, and others.
She urged women to support one another to fully steer the nation back on track.
The First Lady reiterated that the nation will flourish, emphasizing that citizens will find happiness through love, peace, and harmony.
She noted the progress of various programs by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that their impact is becoming evident.
“This is a solemn time, a time for reflection and seeking forgiveness where we have erred.”
“This period shouldn’t conclude after 30 days of fasting and prayers; we must carry it forward into shaping Nigeria’s future. Nigeria is on the path to greatness, requiring a departure from the old ways to effect change,” she said.
Earlier, the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, expressed gratitude to Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her contributions to the nation.
She urged all women to support the current government and the First Lady’s programs through the Renewed Hope Initiative, emphasizing prayers for the nation, particularly in the last ten days of Ramadan.
The guest lecturer, Professor Dr. Marian Lemu, reminded women that God created all humans equal.
She urged them not to forget the lessons learned during Ramadan and to continue living in love, piety, humility, and tolerance, which would enhance the lives of Nigerians.
Prayers were offered for the nation, the President, and the world.
